Thanks for the info! I grew up in Montesano and visited the Oly brewery many times with my parents. I was sad when it closed and with the resurgence of craft brews, I was surprised that it sat vacant for so long. I understand that MillerCoors had a restriction that beer could not be brewed at the facility for 10 years after they left. One more reason to not be happy with big beer.

can't believe I missed this...wow that's awesome! I went to THS and proposed to my wife at the lower falls just below the brewery some years later. Went on the brewery tour several times. Wish I could make it back more often.

Oh man, my grandfather drank olympia all the time when i was a kid, wasn't the slogan "Its the water" or something similar. We used to joke that the logo should be a bear standing infront of a river with his back to you with the brewery downstream.
